I 'SENSITIZED PHOTOGRAPHIO FILM AND MEANS FOR CARRYING AlND EXPOSING SAME.

To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, Sumo CQO NARI- technician, a citizen of the Kingdom .0-

Italy, and resident of Vieux-Dieu, near ntwerp, Belgium, have invented e t in new and useful Improvements in. sensitized Photographic Films andMeans for Carrying and Ex osing Same; and I do hereby declare the ollowing to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, ref

erence being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures .of reference 15- marked therein, which form a part of this specification. i

My n on relate to s ns t ze ph tographic films and more particularly to improved means for carrying and exposing same.

The object of the invention is to provide improved carrying and exposing means specially adapted for a length of sensitized t neously.

photographic film folded in zigzag form in such manner that the folds of the sensitized surface contact with one another.

Under this invention the use of backing material for the sensitized film is avoided and the unfavorable effect resulting from parts of the sensitized surface contacting 2 is a perspective View of the carrying box with the folded film therein. Fig. 3 IS a sectime through a photographic holder with the box carrying the folded film inserted therein Fig. 4 is a section showing how a plurality of films can be carried simulta- The same reference letters wherever repeated indicate the same or similar parts.

The film 1, sensitized on oneside and of a width appropriate to the size of the photos 7 graphic apparatus used, is folded in zig-zag form, as shown by Fig. 1, and in such manner that the sensitized partscontact with one another while the no11-sens1t1zed parts also contact with one another. To facilitate Specification of Letters Patent.

x u auo filed m 25, 1913. Serial No. 763,506.

the folding of the fil the same is preferably perforated across its width at suitable intervals. Strips of opaque paper, 2 and 3, are secured, in any'suitable manner, to the ends of the sensitized film, and the latter is tgen lriserted into a box 4 in such manner 1; at to strip ,of'opa e pa er, 2 projects through a slit in the eh d-wal 5 of said box. The box is thereafter sealed and the sensi ire lm s n e dy f u Whenit is desired to use the film the box 4.; s fixed W th a ho de 6 an the p jecting strip of opaque paper 2, with the film attached, is passed around .rollers 7,

. and 1.0, and partly wound on to the drum 9.

8 indicates the exposure opening in the holder whi h latt r is or may e provided with the usual slide or shutter. After exposure, each succeeding part of the film is wound on to the drum 9 which may be rotated in any suitable manner and these exposures are continued until the Whole film is wound on the drum. By further rotation of the drum 9 the strip 3 is also wound thereon and serves to protectthe exposed film from the light so that the holder 6 may be opened and recharged.

Instead of using a holder the box containing the film and the mechanism for winding the film may be located in the camera itself. If desired several films 1 may be stored in one box 4:, as shown at Fig. 4. In this case the strips of opaque paper 2, pass through slits in the end wall 5 of the box, and the difierent films are wound sue-- cessively on the drum 9, in the manner al ready described.

From the foregoing description it will be obvious to anyone skilled in the art that the film can be inserted in the holder, and removed therefrom eitherbefore or after exposure without the necessity of a darkroom.

Having now fully described my invention what I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is v 1. In combination, a length of sensitized photographic film folded upon itself so that the folds of the sensitized surface contact with one another, means for carrying said film, and means for exposing the same.

2 in combination, a length of sensitized photographic film folded upon itself so that the folds of the sensitized surface contact with one another, means for carrying said film, a holder for same, and means for expo'sing said film.

In combination, a length of sensitized photographic film folded upon itself so that the folds of the sensitized surface contact with one another, opaque material on the ends of said film, a box for said film provided with a slit through which the opaque material'on one end of the film projects, a

holder for said box and means in said holder whereby said film may be exposed as desired. I

5. In combination, a length of sensitized with one another, opaque material on the ends of said film, a box for said film provided with a slit through which the opaque material (in one end of thef filin' ii 'oi holder for said box provided with an openmg, and meansfor unfolding the'film andv the folds of the sensitized surface contact withvone another, opaque material'on the ends of said film, 'a box for said film-provided with a slit through which the opaque material on one end of the film projects, a

holder for said box provided with anopening, rollers in said holder, a drum in said holder, and means for rotating said drum to wind the projecting strip of opaque material and the film over said rollers before said opening and on to said drum, substantially as set forth.

"in testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
